Leadership Stories
The following articles are some of the most inspiring published stories of public sector leadership I have found.
Courage in Crisis
Ambassador Prudence Bushnell demonstrated great courage in trying to stop the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 and in leading her staff in the aftermath of the 1998 bombing of US Embassy Nairobi by Al Qaeda.
The Importance of Integrity to Leadership
Wonderful story by Ambassador Charles Ray about modeling integrity.
Who is the Best Leader You Ever Worked For?
GovLoop Forum discussion that is collecting examples of effective public leadership. Please share your stories!
Four-Star Management
General Bill Creech (1927-2003) orchestrated an extraordinary turnaround of the Tactical Air Command that ultimately swept through the rest of the Air Force and many other parts of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Grassroots Leadership
Inspirational FastCompany article about Mike Abrashoff, the former Captain of the USS Benfold, who unleashed the talents of his crew and--consequently--transformed Benfold into the best ship in the Pacific Fleet. The video below features Abrashoff himself telling part of his story.

In case you missed it, the A/V recording of the "Recruitment and Workforce Planning" session of CHCI's Hiring Reform webinar series, it's here... http://vimeo.com/14052752
I am still amazed at how Steve Parker managed to present it all so simply, patiently and diplomatically. Had I done it, the government and the ATS systems they use would have been slapped, kicked and ripped to shreds! I am a little less patient, you see.... ;-)

Survey on Hiring Reform: I really need and value your responses which will remain confidential. Thank you.
The purpose of this quick survey is to gather information on the upcoming hiring reform for my thesis. All information will be kept confidential (SSL encryption is used for internet responses). I am interested in the opinions of hiring managers and human resource managers who work for the federal government. Thank you for your time
